Plot Synopsis

Three crews of highly-skilled machine operators compete head-to-head in challenges that test how well they handle heavy equipment, with the winning crew taking home $12,000. The series of challenges is designed to test each crew's speed, skill and power while operating massive machines ranging from the powerful excavator to the agile skid steer. In each 60-minute episode, three different crews compete in four challenges, including: racing a backhoe through a maze; running excavators with surgical precision; using a telehandler to launch projectiles from the world's biggest slingshot; playing poker with skid steers; dropping bombs with excavators; crushing cars with dozers; and many more. Discovery aired three, back-to-back episodes on Sunday, December 30, 2012 from 4 - 7pm ET.
